The next few days were uneventful, we just swam, ate and tanned, as the beaches we visited had no facilities. Then one morning we left early, and threw anchor at one of the picturesque little coves on Ios. It was quite windy, and I had my hands full to keep everything together, and prevent the child, who wanted to stand up next to the captain, from falling overboard. The result was that I did not give attention to what was going on on the beach, and after a bit of a struggle Nikos and myself were on dry ground. Nikos was in one of his wayward moods, so all my attention was on trying to keep him still so I could plaster him with suntan lotion. That is when something very strange passed in front of me, and my first thoughts were, no, can't be! But then this apparition came into my view again, and having finished with Nikos, I looked up to see if my eyes had deceived me. It did not. It was a man, big and handsome, and STARKERS!! His only adornment was a thick gleaming golden chain, lying cosely and very showy between his thick chest hair. When he saw me looking up he gave me a flashy smile, and I smiled back, not thinking straight, and being a friendly person. This man now walked up and down, and I kept my eyes lowered, as it was bally embarassing. When the child started laughing and pointing with his finger, I started looking around me, and felt a warm glow creeping up from my neck to my face. The beach looked like an asparagus field wilting under the harshness of the yellow sun. But it was the lot playing beachball that made the child screech with laughter, as everything that could shake, shook! The women, some of them as old as time itself  were lying quite unembaressed, but they embarassed me hugely, as their shrunken busts lay like overdried prunes on their scrawny chests! I prayed for Dorah and Yannis to swim out, as the man with the chain was making it plain that I was of interest to him, and greeted me after circling us about ten times, with a wolfish smile and a soft 'Yassas' that means hello. Oh please earth, swallow me! As I was clad in my very chaste black number, the other people started noticing me, looking at us with a lot of interest. I nearly cried when I saw my employers's heads bobbing towards the beach. I had to laugh at their faces, as I don't think they expected a nudist beach, and they took pity on me and gave me a few hours off. I immediately set off for the interior, as it was of much more interest to me than the lot on the beach, and could you believe it, the naked Adonis started following me, but when he realised that I was actually going up the mountain, he capitulated, and left me to me to my own devices. Phew!!!
